Entebbe, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | If the raging rains give way, the Ryder Cup-inspired Victoria Cup between Kenya and Uganda will tee off at 8am today with Joseph Kasozi and Elton Thembo taking on visitors Elvis Muigua and Junaid Manji. The foursomes will set the tone for the event that the hosts are hungry to win again to make up for the early years of dominance by the visitors. State Minister for Sport and Education Peter Ogwang officially teed off the event Wednesday at a colourful flag-raising pre-event occasion, as golf union presidents Dr Jackson Were of Uganda and Chris Kinuthia of Kenya urged their teams to be brave and go for the win.
